Yes, i block the grille wi a rad muff. I cant see a little pump wash thingy having the power to remove clay unless you do it straight away. We were a good hour at stainby when i hit the mud baht the muff, it was caked and we were messing abiout with the grille off wiping and attacking wi a bottle wi a hole in the lid to try and get some pressure. Never again. why not use te farmers pressure washer at briercliffe, he is a good bloke and doesn't mind, we used it to clean our Boots so we could go in the Pub.......
